Tlie fishing teems to have been fairly good during the past week and will probably continue so tnis week-end. "Limit catches of trout have been made In the middle fork and south fork of the Rogue river, In the Blue canyon lakes and the Seven lakes, Most of the catches have been made with fllee, grasshoppers and small spoons. Perch are being caught at Lake of the Woods, and Eastern Brook with still fishing at Fish lake. Sllveratdes, Rainbow and a few East ern Brook are taken at Fourmlle lake by trolling with flashers. Plana are being made to have ten boats available at Fourmlle lake this week end.' Applegate Fair "Trolling has brought good catches of Rainbow in Klamath lake. Hyatt lake waa very poor over the holiday. Casting with spinners has brought excellent luck at Sky lakes during the past week. The south fork of Little Butte, above the campground at Dead Indian Soda springs, has afforded good angling. On Carberry creek, gray hackle and coaenman flies have brought catches of rather small fish. Up the middle fork of the Applegate river and its tribu taries fishing Is fair. Good catches havo been reported from the Big Applegate, while poor luck lias been experienced at Squaw lake.

The Lake of the Woods roads are being heavily traveled. The Siskiyou sum mit road la open to Dutchman's peak but closed by snow drifts be tween Dutchman's peak and Ash land peak. "The trip to Seven lakes Is still not recommended because the last three miles of the trail are still cov ered with snow, which In some places forms 16-foot drifts.

The Anderson creek road Is posted to the top of the I ridge between Anderson creek and Little Applegate. At tula gap turn to the right and this road goes along the Goat Cabin ridge to Anderson Butte, wfetch la 30 miles from Med ford. From the ridge road an excellent view can be obtained of the Siskiyou and Applegate country. Many of the wild horses have disappeared, but a few still run on Little Applegate watershed and may often be seen on the open hillsides of Goat Cabin ridge. The lookout on Anderson Butte la the main point of Interest. This drive Is a very enjoyable one because of Its scenic charm and also because the road la In good condition all the way. "Another route can be taken In returning to Medford by driving back down to the Anderson creek road, then down Rush creek to Little Ap plegate road to the main Applegate road. Tills road down Little Apple gate Is In only fairly good condition." later, at 13:19. the double execution had been completed. Prison officials aid neither young man made any statement before death.
